With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage to contact you.I am an army
Sgt. from FortHood Tx. now serving with the third infantry contingent mission stationed in Iraq. I
actually found your contact in a business journal. I am seeking your experience and assistance to
evacuate the sum of $5.5 Million United Sates Dollars to USA or any other safe country. This is no
stolen funds, and there are no risks involved.
SOURCE OF FUNDS:
During the third month of the raid here in Iraq, myself and some few other soldiers while
conducting a routine search in a location near one of Saddam`s old palaces, uncovered large sums of
money buried in barrels with piles of weapons and ammunitions which we believed must have been part
of Saddam's hidden treasure. We agreed not to turn over the cash or declare it to our superiors
since there is noting we could do having considered that there is no amount or kind of compensation
that can make up, quantify, or justify the risks we have taken with our lives in this hell hole.
I was given the sum of $5.5 Million Dollars as my own share out of the large sums discovered, and
had nowhere to conceal such bulk monies here, so I had to employ the services of a contact by a
British colleague. The said contact facilitated the movement of the funds to a safer location
entirely outside Iraq. One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter with
a third party, should you have reasons to reject this offer, please destroy this email, as any
leakage of this information will be too bad for me. I do not know for how long we will remain here,
and I have survived two suicide bomb attacks by the grace of God.
It may be difficult for us to communicate on phone for security reasons, so as soon as I am sure
you are willing to help, I will guide you with more information. But only when I ascertained your
seriousness to commit your time in seeing to the success of this. We shall also discuss about
percentage when it is convenient to do so,until I hear from you, more information shall be supplied
to you.
Respectfully,
Tanner Anderson.

Since you’re here …
we have a small favour to ask. More people are visting Scamdex and Scamalot than ever but advertising revenues are falling fast and we have no 'product' to sell.
And unlike many informational websites, we haven’t put up a paywall or membership barrier – we want to keep our site as open as we can.
So you can see why we need to ask for your help. Scamdex/Scamalot websites takes a lot of time, money and hard work to keep running. We do this because we
hate to see our fellow humans getting scammed out of their hard-earned money by low-lives.
